He is now one of the most pop­ ular members of the faculty, a politi­ cal figure with a considerable future to all intents and purposes, an author of a recognized history text, and a speaker in great demand. Present plans are for a Law Lunch­ eon on Saturday, June 6. Details for this will be worked out and all N. D. lawyers who are listed either as prac-' ticing or as graduates, of the College of Law will be notified. The Luncheon is suggested as the only possible time which will accom­ modate the peak of the attendance at Commencement, without interfering with the major features of the Com­ mencement program. The General Reunion of Notre Dame lawyers marks the completion of the first year of service for the new Law Building and the .consequent opening of almost unlimited fields for the future law students of the Uni­ versity. Besides the new Building, the College has many new features of enrollment, requirements and curricu­ lum, and many new members of the faculty, all of whom, and which, will be of great interest to former stu­ dents of the College, or N. D. men now practicing. Col. William J. Hoynes, Dean Emeritus, and Thomas Konop, Dean, are honorary chairmen of the Ee- 234 THE NOTRE DAME ALUMNTJS March, 1931
